International was a 1975 album by The Three Degrees.

Aside from their fabulous harmonies and undeniable beauty, The Three Degrees were also known as one of the most versatile female vocal trios of all time, a comment not made lightly but often overlooked by critics. In fact The Three Degrees remained the only female voxcal trio to have a number one hit record in Japan with a song sung in French!^{[citation needed]}

In 1975 The Three Degrees returned to the recording studios for Philadelphia International Records to record their second studio album for the label, 'Together' (released in Europe only). The majority of that album went on to make up their next US and Asian release 'International', a lushly orchestrated album with soaring harmonies and living up to the album's title, songs performed in English, Spanish, French and Japanese.
